I have been trying to run ubuntu-cleaner. Its kinda different. I bring it up and it sites there, there is nothing about it other than, I think, its running. So, I click on something and then I think it starts to do things but I am not sure. So I click on the top button but am still not sure if anything is happening.

After a bit of whatevers I get it doing something but I remain not sure of what its doing then it may tell me that I am clean. In all of those case I have never clicked on the package configs because it says that I have 5 of them that need something and I fear that I will lose something that I might not be a goog idea.

After messing with it I thought I had better ask somebody what is going on before I really screw things up.

Thoughts?

There are a few problems with this topic:

No category or tags. So you skipped the Start here page. Please don’t ask volunteer moderators to clean up impatience.
Ubuntu Cleaner is non-Ubuntu software. Adding non-Ubuntu software is the #1 cause of broken systems. Adding non-Ubuntu software is NOT recommended for new users, and some consider it foolhardy. As this is support for Ubuntu specifically, non-Ubuntu software could reasonably be considered off-topic.
The description of the problem is vague, and requires several reads to (perhaps) understand.

I hope you get the feedback on ubuntu-cleaner that you seek.

You can improve the probability of a useful answer, and perhaps saving yourself much grief, by using the Start here page, by sticking to Ubuntu software, and by taking a few minutes to really improve those descriptions. Adding screenshots is trivial; you can do that, too.
